Interface List<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - Component type of the List
    All Superinterfaces:
    Foldable<T>, java.util.function.Function<java.lang.Integer,​T>, Function1<java.lang.Integer,​T>, java.lang.Iterable<T>, LinearSeq<T>, PartialFunction<java.lang.Integer,​T>, Seq<T>, java.io.Serializable, Traversable<T>, Value<T>
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    List.Cons, List.Nil
    public interface List<T>
extends LinearSeq<T>
    An immutable List is an eager sequence of elements. Its immutability makes it suitable for concurrent programming.

    A List is composed of a head element and a tail List.

    There are two implementations of the List interface:

    • List.Nil, which represents the empty List.
    • List.Cons, which represents a List containing one or more elements.
    A List is a Stack in the sense that it stores elements allowing a last-in-first-out (LIFO) retrieval.

    Stack API:

    Methods to obtain a List: 
     
 // factory methods
 List.empty()                        // = List.of() = Nil.instance()
 List.of(x)                          // = new Cons<>(x, Nil.instance())
 List.of(Object...)                  // e.g. List.of(1, 2, 3)
 List.ofAll(Iterable)                // e.g. List.ofAll(Stream.of(1, 2, 3)) = 1, 2, 3
 List.ofAll(<primitive array>) // e.g. List.of(new int[] {1, 2, 3}) = 1, 2, 3

 // int sequences
 List.range(0, 3)              // = 0, 1, 2
 List.rangeClosed(0, 3)        // = 0, 1, 2, 3
    Note: A List is primarily a Seq and extends Stack for technical reasons (so Stack does not need to wrap List).

    If operating on a List, please prefer

    Factory method applications: 
     
 List<Integer>       s1 = List.of(1);
 List<Integer>       s2 = List.of(1, 2, 3);
                           // = List.of(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3});

 List<int[]>         s3 = List.ofAll(1, 2, 3);
 List<List<Integer>> s4 = List.ofAll(List.of(1, 2, 3));

 List<Integer>       s5 = List.ofAll(1, 2, 3);
 List<Integer>       s6 = List.ofAll(List.of(1, 2, 3));

 // cuckoo's egg
 List<Integer[]>     s7 = List.<Integer[]> of(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3});
    Example: Converting a String to digits 
     
 // = List(1, 2, 3)
 List.of("123".toCharArray()).map(c -> Character.digit(c, 10))

      • asJava

        @GwtIncompatible
default java.util.List<T> asJava()
        Description copied from interface: Seq
        Creates an immutable List view on top of this Seq, i.e. calling mutators will result in UnsupportedOperationException at runtime.

        The difference to conversion methods toJava*() is that

        • A view is created in O(1) (constant time) whereas conversion takes O(n) (linear time), with n = collection size.
        • The operations on a view have the same performance characteristics than the underlying persistent Vavr collection whereas the performance characteristics of a converted collection are those of the Java standard collections.
        Please note that our immutable java.util.List view throws UnsupportedOperationException before checking method arguments. Java does handle this case inconsistently.
        Specified by:
        asJava in interface Seq<T>
        Returns:
        A new immutable Collection view on this Traversable.

        default <U> List<Tuple2<T,​U>> zipAll​(java.lang.Iterable<? extends U> that,
                                           T thisElem,
                                           U thatElem)
        Description copied from interface: Traversable
        Returns a traversable formed from this traversable and another Iterable by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

        The length of the returned traversable is the maximum of the lengths of this traversable and that iterable.

        Special case: if this traversable is shorter than that elements, and that elements contains duplicates, the resulting traversable may be shorter than the maximum of the lengths of this and that because a traversable contains an element at most once.

        If this Traversable is shorter than that, thisElem values are used to fill the result. If that is shorter than this Traversable, thatElem values are used to fill the result.

        Specified by:
        zipAll in interface Traversable<T>
        Type Parameters:
        U - The type of the second half of the returned pairs.
        Parameters:
        that - The Iterable providing the second half of each result pair.
        thisElem - The element to be used to fill up the result if this traversable is shorter than that.
        thatElem - The element to be used to fill up the result if that is shorter than this traversable.
        Returns:
        A new traversable containing pairs consisting of corresponding elements of this traversable and that.
